Not seen many Xantias at all recently but on Wednesday I saw 4 not including my own! The theory is that all the Xantias in my area have been bought up by pensioners who drive around during the week
205s though...by the time I got out of our estate today (only about 1/2 a mile to the main road) I had seen three. Up the town there was a C plater and yesterday up town there was an A plate. Also saw the red N plate 205 breakdown van that i see quite a lot anyway. I've got a photo of the last one knocking about on my phone.
I was following a very tidy BX yesterday evening, the first I have seen on the road in ages. A red E reg, perhaps a TRS. Looks tidy but riding a little hard perhaps. No pictures as I was driving, the BX wasn't hanging about either!

Just seen a MK2 Activa in silver with either flat sphere's or a closed anti sink valve bouncing its way to Ryde's tesco petrol station, the natural habitat of the Activa
I saw a lovely red C6 in Birmingham International railway station car park along with a nice black Mk3 (?) C5 when I went to pick up Robyn from the toy train that brought her there from Aberystwyth... A pathetic-looking two car DMU packed to bursting point with Students Arriva trains might have engaged brain and thought Aber has 8,000 Uni students. Most will be coming home today so let's make up a big train for them. But no. Too much to hope for... As Robyn said on her FB page.. "Arriva Trains are Rubbish"...
Today in Bridgewater I saw two white Series 1 Xantias, one bouncing like a pogo-stick. The only other Xantia I saw on the whole trip was a nice red Series 2.

Not 'official' spots, but some from visiting the Stondon Motor Museum yesterday. Below are some of the French cars that were there - there's about 400 vehicles in total and well worth a visit. The CCC's East Midlands Group will be organising a get-together there in March next year.

I saw a Silver C6 today! Heading into Redruth from scorrier, was very suprised to see one,
Did also spot And park next to a Mk1 green td eztate xant last week, is 9 numbers on the plate older than another green mk1 td estate I see reegularly!
Did also recognise the sound of a Xanty diesel in the liesure centre carpark as we walked back tonight after oldest littluns swimming lesson, looked like a dark blue but was Dark under poor orange lighting, defo a xanty estate though! Spotted a mk1 saloon too on the way to the pool wearng Saxo vtr alloys!
I spotted a K-plate BX yesterday, a red one, looked like a TZD and fairly tidy too. That was in Stockton on Portrack Lane.
Today I was out doing some messages and parked next to an early Xantia, an M plate in dark blue without an airbag and with the chevrons on the bonnet. It was a 2.0 petrol with S2 rear lights. I took a pic or two:
